Dooku Serenno, the name of a character that so many Jedi and politicians alike both admired and respected. Those of us who know the character have come to know him definitively in his darkest days portrayed by the great Christopher Lee. Or to the animated star wars fans out there, Corey Burton. This week we dive inside an audiobook called "Dooku: Jedi Lost" which provides an inside look at the life and legend of Count Dooku in his younger years growing up as a Jedi apprentice to Grand Master Yoda, his friendship and alliance to Sifo-Dias, and the discovery of his birth right, his noble status of wealth and power. Dooku is one of the most complex characters in the Star Wars universe and it's been very exciting to dive into this story and his downfall. ———————————————————————— 🤖 Discord: https://discord.gg/KucPjer 🖥️ Website: https://swescapepodcast.wixsite.com/star-wars-escape-pod 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SWEscapePodcast 📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast 📧 Email us or send a voice message to: [email protected] 🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ———————————————————————— Our Friends ALKY SABERS https://www.youtube.com/@ALKYSolutions https://www.tiktok.com/@alky_solutions https://www.instagram.com/alkysolutions https://alkysolutions.com/ EastPostSC (Decal Shop) Use the code ESCAPEPOD to get 1 of 4 random escape pod cover art stickers & 10% off your entire order! https://eastpostsc.etsy.com https://www.instagram.com/eastpoststickerco/ STAR WARS | ORBITKEY https://www.orbitkey.com/collections/star-wars https://x.com/orbitkey?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/orbitkey/

"Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?" Join us as we delve deep into the legend of one of the most enigmatic Sith Lords, Hego Damask, better known as Darth Plagueis. Based on the tantalizing tale Palpatine shares with Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars author James Luceno brought this sinister character to life in his 2012 novel. This episode of What Happened is a unique exploration, combining a deep dive into Darth Plagueis with a comprehensive novel review. Given that Plagueis is primarily a literary character, we’re stepping into Legends territory for this one. But fear not, Acolyte fans! We’ll be tying up loose ends and offering theories on that mind-boggling Easter egg. To celebrate this special episode, we've introduced new artwork for all What Happened episodes. We hope you enjoy this journey into the dark side! As always, your ratings and shares fuel our passion for creating this podcast. Thank you for your continued support! What Happened!? Your essential Star Wars character deep dive. In each episode, we unravel the complete story of a beloved character, from their first appearance to their latest exploits. From the big screen to the comic book page, no stone is left unturned as we chronologically explore every facet of their galactic journey. Join us for an in-depth look at the characters you love. ———————————————————————— 🤖 Discord: https://discord.gg/KucPjer 🖥️ Website: https://swescapepodcast.wixsite.com/star-wars-escape-pod 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SWEscapePodcast 📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast 📧 Email us or send a voice message to: [email protected] 🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ———————————————————————— Our Friends STAR WARS | ORBITKEY https://www.orbitkey.com/collections/star-wars https://x.com/orbitkey?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/orbitkey/ ALKY SABERS https://www.youtube.com/@ALKYSolutions https://www.tiktok.com/@alky_solutions https://www.instagram.com/alkysolutions https://alkysolutions.com/ EastPostSC (Sticker | Decal Shop) (Use the code "ESCAPEPOD" and you will get 1 of 4 random cover art stickers & 10% off your whole order! ) https://eastpostsc.etsy.com https://www.instagram.com/eastpoststickerco/

Slave. Apprentice. Assassin. Nightsister. Bounty Hunter. Death. Resurrection. Asajj Ventress has a unique story and a one of a kind place in the galaxy. Our What Happened sub series has finally got around to exploring her story and her past. When her re-emergence came up in The Bad Batch it was a character that really needed this treatment. With The Acolyte having come out so soon after The Bad Batch Season 3 we've delayed this episode to premiere afterwards at some point. We hope you all enjoy, and share this with a friend who might need to catch up on Ventress's story. What Happened!? A Star Wars Escape Pod sub-series. With each episode, "What Happened" provides a full catch up about specific character under the spotlight. You don't miss a beat, we includes just about every appearance of the character in our subject from the (canon) comics, novels, shows, and the films of course! And provide a chronological recap of their story in the galaxy far, far away (to date of podcast publish). ———————————————————————— 🤖 Discord: https://discord.gg/KucPjer 🖥️ Website: https://swescapepodcast.wixsite.com/star-wars-escape-pod 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SWEscapePodcast 📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast 📧 Email us or send a voice message to: [email protected] 🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ———————————————————————— Our Friends STAR WARS | ORBITKEY https://www.orbitkey.com/collections/star-wars https://x.com/orbitkey?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/orbitkey/ ALKY SABERS https://www.youtube.com/@ALKYSolutions https://www.tiktok.com/@alky_solutions https://www.instagram.com/alkysolutions https://alkysolutions.com/ EastPostSC (Sticker | Decal Shop) (Use the code "ESCAPEPOD" and you will get 1 of 4 random cover art stickers & 10% off your whole order! ) https://eastpostsc.etsy.com https://www.instagram.com/eastpoststickerco/
